So this year at Anime Central, my boyfriend and I dressed up as Lilith and Mordecai - we actually won Best Group, too! For those of you not familiar with ACen, it has over 20,000 attendees, so to win anything there was a shock!

I had planned to have a Claptrap, but I ran out of time...he's a heap of materials in a box right now. (Quick, find a repair kit!) We'll probably be going to Youmacon in Detroit and rewearing these, so I'll definitely have one then - along with a Roland and Brick that I'm going to be working on. We love these too much not to wear them again!

At a con as huge as ACen, it felt amazing to win an award, but the community for Borderlands was really representing, and that was the best part for me. We've been addicted to this game since it came out...literally, we play nothing else. So it was awesome to meet so many other people who feel the same. On Saturday we actually asked each person that took our picture what class they played and kept track...Sirens FTW! (:

There's more specific costume info about Lilith here and Mordecai here for those of you that want to check that out.

Credit to Alicia for the photo... We have professional ones, but they don't show off our glowing parts. (:

I do them with a lot of time and a lot of planning! It's really a matter of trial and error, and a whole bunch of experimenting. I've made only a handful of costumes now, and I get better with each one. So just start with something you like, and research, research, research! Good luck with yours, and thanks for looking! (:
